I'm sad so many houses are going up around this mountain, but it's been a favorite hike over the years. Rarely are there crowds and I can bring my dog. All of the trails are well-maintained and the views are nice. It's fun to climb this trail and watch the hot air balloons take off.

I love this trail and the views from the top especially make it something special. If you are looking for a more difficult hike make sure to start from the trailhead because the marker will point you in the direction that is more difficult!
